The "ick", maintaining attraction, and love bombing

In this week's hotline episode, we dive into the challenges of modern dating, the intricacies of personal appearance choices within relationships, and understanding patterns that lead us to certain types of partners. We'll be unpacking: How do you navigate the dating world when it feels like you catch "the ick" just as things start to warm up? When you love your new hairstyle but your boyfriend doesn't, how do you assert your choice without it escalating into a conflict? Especially when you want to feel attractive to him but also stay true to yourself. Why is it that you find yourself continually attracted to love bombers? And how can you protect your heart without shutting it off completely and becoming distrustful? Got a burning question about your love life?
